Former vice president Richard B. Cheney plans to meet Tuesday with House Republicans as the GOP begins a push to paint President Obama as responsible for the fallout of mandatory cuts in defense spending set to take effect in January.
Senior Republican aides confirmed that the former vice president plans to meet with members House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and members of the GOP whip team to discuss Cheneys concerns with how roughly $110 billion in Pentagon and non-defense spending cuts could affect national security and the economy.
The meeting comes as GOP leaders struck back Monday at reports in The Washington Post that Democrats appear willing to let nearly $600 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts to take effect in January unless Republicans drop their opposition to higher taxes for the nations wealthiest households. Senior Democrats now say they are prepared to accept a fiscal event that could plunge the nation back into recession if the new year arrives without an acceptable compromise.

approach of "deficits don't matter", at least regarding anything related to defense spending!
